    Have they yet found a cure or preventive measure for Korean "Foot-n-Mouth" disease? :lol:

    Is this the same illness that is called hoof and mouth disease in English speaking countries? Or is it perhaps a euphemism for a different livestock disease altogether? Hmmmmm?

    You mean, the one where cows are foaming at the mouth and can't stand on their hooves?

    Chem suits with no face mask?

    They are probably just spraying a weak solution of lactic or citric acid, so the chem suits are really just disposable coveralls.

    Maybe they should have a little Kimchi in their diet. Kimchi prevents/cures all.

    The one in the picture looks pretty nice (of course). I agree, I can't believe some of the filthy muddy/sh!t/piss pits I've seen cattle kept in. I didn't know cattle could survive in a swamp but basically they are. Seems they've been pretty lucky not to have created an entirely new disease. :shock:
